Ok, cheers guys. Hehe nah, don't want yours at all now mate :lol: And where can I get such a rotor? Does the it matter whether its wavey or straight? Are they both classified as the same size? Cheers, Mat

Right, I have a Hope mini, number 3 caliper, and a 185mm wavey rotor. My understanding is that to use the Hope mini on the Koxx forks, I will need to get a rotor 20mm bigger than the one it's supposed to go with as the mount is funny. Can someone clarify this before I buy a 205mm rotor? Will it all work? Many thanks, Mat

I saw that, not overly keen on having to file my hub down though!

Thanks for the replies so far. I'm 5 foot 7.5, and on my pace I had a stem about 70 mm long, fair bit of rise, and riser bars. They can be changed if needed on a new frame. My pace felt really good on the back wheel, but it was an effort pulling it back up onto the balance point for manuals and stuff. I'm not sure I could do it with a much longer frame. I really need to measure the wheelbase I guess. I've cracked 2 aluminium frames in about a month (one trials) so steel seemed like a good idea, but I don't want to struggle on the back wheel, or on the other hand, struggle to bunnyhop and manual on something too long. Thanks Rich, I'll get in touch with him. I will look into the frames people suggested, I want something pretty nice. Many thanks, Mat

Yeah, I would go for the shortest Koxx I could get, I don't want too much of a jump. How different do frames like a Curtis or Pashley feel to a Koxx? Especially on the back wheel? I haven't had expirience with eather, and just want to find out a bit before going and buying one or the other. Has anyone used both a short and a long frame? What was the differences between the two? Many thanks, Mat

Right it's time for me to get a new frame, but I'm not sure what to get. I'm coming from a Pace RC250, and liked the feel of that. I'm not sure whether to go for something long and low, like a Koxx or Zoo! or the like, or to get something like a Pashley or Curtis. I never ride natural (because there isn't anything natural around here), but I want something which feels good on the back wheel. What will be the difference in ride between the frames mentioned above? Are there any other frames you guys think I should have a look at? Any input would be appreciated! Many thanks, Mat

You could try just winding in the limit screws, so it can't move side to side. The bottom jockey wheel would still move up and down though i guess.

PM'd you my number mate! Well up for a ride sometime :shifty: Cheers, Mat

Im going camping down in Newquay this week (wed - wed), and was thinking about taking my bike. Is anyone from there around that week for a ride? Let me know! Cheers, Mat

Loosen the crank bolts and ride around on it for a while. I wouldn't hit it with a hammer.

Yep, £99:99 for the pair, that's the best price i've found.

As the title says. Either the new or old version. I've looked on a few sites, and the best price I could find was £100 for the 05 ones. Anyone know of anything better? Cheers, Mat

I did this afternoon, and just riding round my garden it felt a lot grippier. It seems ok with the pads I had in before (Koolstops), but when they wear down, i'll get some different ones. Pleased with the results! Cheers guys

Cheers mate! I'll give it a go later.

Alright. What's the best technique for grinding rims then? Put the wheel in a vice and just go for it? And do you use the edge of the grinding disc, or the flat side? How many grinds do you get to the average wheel? And would it be any good with the red Koolstops. I'm running tar at the moment, which is alright, but it sounds like a grind is the way to go. Cheers, Mat

Would you be interested in swapping for a BMX?
